Just a few I've already uploaded; will duly search my archives for more to edit!

Just last weekend:


911th AW departing Pittsburgh International:


Old scanned photo taken on a run-of-the-mill store-bought film camera, sometime in the early 1990s. An EC-130E from the 193rd Special Operations Wing at its home base of Harrisburg, PA. If I'd taken this photo just a few seconds later you'd have been able to see the steam from Three Mile Island at the left of the image.

I marshalled this one last week at Culdrose, it came in to collect the NH-90 groundcrews.

Danish Air Force C130J's at Sumburgh, Shetland. We get these in occasionally on training flights - and almost always when the weather and light is grim!

Some older ones scanned from slides:

A Belgian AF Hercules trains low level relief support during exercise Co-operative Chance 1996, Szolnok, Hungary.


Securite Civile C-130A at Marseille, France in 1985, w/o on 6 september 2000. The Hercules, crashed while it was dumping water over a forest fire in southeastern France.
The aircraft had just carried out a first passage; on the second one it flew into a hill killing all six onboard.


Gabon AF C-130H TR-KKC at Paris Le Bourget, France, in the 1990s


Venezuelan AF C-130H 3134 at Twenthe, NL in the 1990s. The RNLAF sold them some NF-5s. This C-130H visiting was probably related.

And now some more recent digital ones :

Ramstein based C-130Js engaging in a medium altitude airdrop.


The same ones in a sharp formation turn.


Spanish AF tanker just taking off from Zaragoza in Spain.


This ex Italian Air Force Hercules flies over a typical Romanian landscape with lots of small villages, farmland and mountains.
